INSURANCE:
QUARANTINE HOTEL AND PCR “TEST & GO” PACKAGES
I am booked in here as it seemed good value. Watch out for my video on the experience.
These people have a lots of hotel packages on offer. I nothing about them though.
At present you cannot book these packages through the major hotel booking websites and companies.
Please do your due diligence, as there have been reports of a couple of scams.
